This is a clip of the amazing British comedian, actor and atheist Ricky Gervais. In this clip Gervais outclasses psychology professor Richard Wiseman. Wiseman wants to propose 3 doors: door 1 is "god exists", door 2 is "god doesn't exist", door 3 is "I don't know".

Gervais doesn't let Wiseman even finish his question, because indeed, it is a nonsense question. It is a category mistake. "God exists" and "God doesn't exist" already cover 100% of the options in their domain. There isn't a 3rd option. If door 3 were to be "I don't know" then for example door 1 and 3 could be true at the same time. Plus door 2 and 3 could be true at the same time as well. Because a god could exist while I don't know if a god exists. And in the same way, a god could not exist, while I don't know if a god god exists. We might as well introduce a 4th door: "Bananas are yellow".

"I don't know is an option in an other category than "god exists" and "god doesn't exist" and belongs to another set of 2 doors: door 1 is "I know" and door 2 is "I don't know". So Gervais is completely right.
